Starting from the Terminal

In case you want to run your Django application from the terminal just run:

• Run syncdb command to sync models to database and create Django's default superuser and auth system

  $ python manage.py migrate

• Run Django

  • Run the below command for running from Cloud9 : $ python manage.py runserver $IP:$PORT
  • For running from a local machine : $ python manage.py runserver

• Install dependencies by typing the following command in your terminal: $ pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the scheduler

1. Open the terminal
2. Type ./manage.py shell
3. Type execfile('./tutoria/cron.py')

Caution : Do schedule.clear() after every interrupt to cleanly cancel scheduled tasks

Starting the SMTP server

You need to run a SMTP server for sending/receiving email notifications python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025

Bugs, Future Fixes

• Search using hourly rate has bugs
• As we are using a CDN for ajax, bootstrap, etc you must connect to the internet to run the application once before the browser caches the data
• Can only choose from pre-defined set of subject tags
• Add functionality to add/search using user-inputted subject tags
• Handle case to prevent a user registered both as student and a tutor to book/cancel sessions with themself

Configuration

You can configure your Python version and PYTHONPATH used in Cloud9 > Preferences > Project Settings > Language Support.
